Kenyan police and soldiers have pinned down the remaining gunmen who opened fire at a shopping centre earlier today, killing 30 and leaving at least 50 others injured.

A security source at the scene in the capital Nairobi confirmed moments ago the attackers have been isolated.

The source said: 'The attackers have been isolated and are pinned down in an area on one of the floors - the rest of the mall seems to be secure.'

No-one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but it is looking increasingly likely the Somalia terrorist group al-Shabaab may be responsible.

A statement released through its Twitter account said it warned Kenya to pull its troops out of Somalia.

However, the group has did not take responsibility for the attack.

One witness who was embroiled in the situation claimed that the gunmen told Muslims to stand up and leave and that only non-Muslims would be targeted when they opened fire at the upmarket mall of the Westlands district around midday.

At least two dozen people, wounded and dead, were wheeled out on stretchers and in shopping trolleys by security guards, while others were seen walking out of the building, clutching bloodied clothing around their injuries.

Locals and tourists who were out shopping on the sunny Saturday in Kenya ran screaming from the building and cars were left abandoned as attackers threw grenades and fired AK47s.

Religion of peace strikes again..but wait, can’t be, according to CAIR, Islam is a loving religion that just wants to embrace everyone and give them big hugs..but they forgot the most important part..blow themselves up..guess they forgot that little tidbit

If Zero was there, they’d not only already be aware he is mooselimb, but Zero would love to say an Islamic prayer to satan as well. After all he says the call to “prayer” is the most beautiful thing he’s ever heard.

Progressives, mediots and atheists hate America more than they hate Islamists. It comes down to a matter of degree. If they can use the Islamists to do the bloody work, then so much the better, they believe.

I just dont understand how Muslims can continue to commit atrocities and the world just keeps loving them.

Now that I think about it the same thing has happened over and over again, for instance Communists.

There's a certain pattern in some of the comments on that news page. Certain "ALL RELIGION IS BAD!!!!!!!!" comments are there, and if no one's been cheating with the voting, these comments seem pretty popular.

What you mention in your post reminds me of such people's blind spots--if a Muslim does something bad, then it's Religion's Fault instead of anything in particular about Islam, and atheists (especially the State Atheists of communism) have never, ever committed atrocities in the name of their beliefs.

I mentioned on another thread that this reminded me of Mumbai; in that attack they bypassed other Muslims as well.

It is scary enough living in NJ (with large Muslim populations in Jersey City & Paterson/Passaic); I couldn’t imagine living anywhere (heck, even visiting) in whcih these people comprised more than 1% of the population. In the US such places are increasingly difficult to find...

I’m not saying it’s understandable or even remotely makes sense but it seems to me that the message of the goat-humping, sister banging, inbred muzzie pieces of krap gets lost when they say they attacked to protest Kenya helping the Somalis and then give a pass to the Kenyan Amish who can recite the appropriate ditty, claiming they are Muzzie. If everyone in the mall happened to be Muzzie they’d all be going straight to hell, no virgins, no goats, no nothing.

We really really need a media outlet that can heap insulting, degrading, funny, insulting, demeaning, belittling krap on these 7th century throwbacks. They need to be combated, confronted with a voice that assures them that they are not legitimate in any way. Start with teepeeing the closest hi-diddle- diddle phalic symbol mosk and go from there.
